(AllHipHop News) Chris Brown stopped by The Breakfast Club to run through several subjects related to the “New Flame” singer. Breezy talked about his setbacks with his Between The Sheets Tour with Trey Songz, his relationship with Karrueche Tran, racism in the music industry, working with Tyga, the Grammy Awards domestic violence PSA, The-Dream’s comments about R&B-rappers, and his thoughts on Drake.
“That dude don’t make me no check,” said Brown about Drake. “I didn’t make no record with him. He was just in the studio. He was a fan.”
When Charlamagne Tha God asked Brown if he was friends with Drake, the performer replied, “Nah, I’m cool.” The conversation then turned to CB’s ex-girlfriend Rihanna and other famous men she could potentially date after him.
“With old girl – the first one. Who else is she gonna go to?” Brown asked. “Who else in this game she gonna go to? Some corny singing rapper?”
Brown later explained the competition of the game leads to envy in the industry. According to CB, that dynamic makes it hard to make genuine friends with other artists.
Every couple of years a rumor emerges that Jay-Z has a secret kid stashed away somewhere or somebody is claiming dude as their long-lost baby daddy.
Well now a 21-year-old man is claiming Hov smashed his moms back in the day and that Jay is his father.
The National Enquirer says:
“The love child, Rymir Satterthwaite, blew wide open the 21-year cover-up by telling a New Jersey court that his mother, Wanda, had steamy sex sessions with Jay Z in the early 1990s – before he would go on to become one of the world’s best-selling artists of all time.
The ENQUIRER has learned that a devastated Rymir, through his legal guardian, filed a civil lawsuit in Dec. 2014, in which he accused the 45-year-old rapper and entrepreneur of blatantly lying to a court to avoid taking a paternity test!”
What do y’all think? Does he favor Hov? Could Blue have a sibling out there?
Ciara fans in New Zealand were so p##### at Ciara they started to hurl cans onto the stage.
Cici allegedly hit the stage late AND only performed a couple of her fan’s favorite hits.
NY Daily News reports:
“Ciara fans are not happy with the diva antics displayed at her concert in Christchurch, New Zealand on Wednesday.
The 29-year-old singer was set to perform at Ilam Fields, where 1,500 of her fans waited patiently for the show 9:30 p.m. show to begin.
It wasn’t until 11 p.m. that Ciara stepped on the stage and an already anxious crowd was even more peeved when her set ended 10 minutes later.
“It’s just a lot of money for students and you expect someone to perform a good set,” a local university student, Emily, who didn’t want to give her last name, told Radio New Zealand News, about the $48 she paid to purchase her ticket. Some concertgoers reportedly paid more than $100 for VIP tickets.
“You don’t expect to pay money to see someone perform five songs,” Emily added. “It’s just about a tenth of what you’d expect.”
Other attendees recall Ciara only singing two songs.
“I saw a couple of cans being thrown onto the stage,” Philippa Moran, a concertgoer, said. “Pretty much the whole crowd was booing her, which was unfortunate.””
Don’t you hate when that happens? Your favorite artist lets you down after you pay to see them…smh.
(AllHipHop News) After Bobby Shmurda was arrested in December, Epic Records executive Sha Money XL released a statement in support of the Brooklyn rapper. However, Bobby’s label home did not put up any money to bail the “Hot N***a” performer out of jail, and Shmurda later revealed no one from Epic has even visited him since being incarcerated.
“They’re not bailing me out. They’re not standing by me that much. Every time I call them, there’s excuses about [parent company] Sony, this and that,” Bobby told Billboard. “I haven’t gotten a visit from one of them yet.”
Shmurda’s entertainment lawyer Matthew Middleton spoke with the New York Times. Middleton expressed Epic is not required to offer bail money for its artists, but Bobby expected more financial and emotional support than he has received from the label.
“These companies for years have capitalized and made millions and millions of dollars from kids in the inner city portraying their plight to the rest of the world,” said Middleton. “To take advantage of that and exploit it from a business standpoint and then turn your back is disingenuous, to say the least.”
If Bobby Shmurda beats his case, he plans to either break from Epic immediately or leave the label after completing his contractual music requirements. The 20-year-old head of the GS9 imprint is currently facing up to 25 years in prison for criminal possession of a weapon, conspiracy, reckless endangerment, and other charges.
The seriousness of the allegations may be the reason Epic has decided not to back Shmurda, but Middleton points out so far there have only been accusations of crimes being committed. He also notes the label has already made a profit off its deal with Bobby.
“[Epic] made their money back at least two or three times over,” Middleton added. “I understand from a corporate standpoint that companies cannot put themselves in a position where it appears they’re supporting and condoning criminal activity. But he hasn’t been found guilty of anything yet.”

According to his LinkedIn profile, Suares has worked at Suares & Associates since 2004. Prior to that, the Howard University Law School graduate was employed at Viacom for two years. Viacom is the parent company of BET, MTV, VH1, Spike, Comedy Central, and other networks.
Klarberg’s list of celebrity clients has included Justin Timberlake, Russell Simmons, Charlie Sheen, Mark Messier, and Anna Kournikova. He is also a part owner of the New York Yankees and the Memphis Grizzlies.
Dash sued Klarberg for $3.5 million in 2007. Dame accused his former accountant of mishandling his New York and New Jersey income tax returns for 2000, 2001, and 2002. He also alleged Klarberg caused tax issues in 2005 by not informing him of the amount of money he made from the sale of one of his companies.

I think this is a first. Lauren London and Lil Wayne have a kid together. To my knowledge this is a first look of them together – if this is indeed the baby that they share.
That’s a scary looking picture right there. Yeah, its a slow day.
Although his production talents may not feature huge rap stars yet, DMV producer Wu 05 has been establishing himself as a force to reckon with on the internet. Wu’s style of music falls in between the hard hitting 808’s of southern music with the synths and odd sound effects of EDM. It’s an odd mixture, yet when heard, wows listeners with a unique vibe. One of the recent drops from Wu 05 was a remix of Pimp C’s “Hogg In the Game”. The edit includes a smooth upbeat 70’s backdrop to hold up with heavy bass and hard lyrics. Check it out below.
Let’s face it, you weren’t expecting Just Blaze to drop two instrumentals during the Oscars, but he sure did damn it! The legendary producer released two instrumentals through via Soundcloud. According to Complex, “Miracle” was supposed to be used by Jay Z, but and Jeezy, but they couldn’t come up with a song. Moleskin Conclusion is part 2 of Jay Electronica’s “Dear Moleskine”. Check out the two singles below.
Taylor Gang rapper Berner teams up with OG B Real and Snoop Dogg for the single “Faded”. The video includes a lot of smoke, with each rapper rhyming while rolling up. The song itself is pretty dope, using a classic sample from Jay Z’s#### “A Million and One Questions”. check out the video for “Faded” below.
I can’t make heads or tails of this stuff anymore. Tyga dated Blac Chyna. Wiz married Amber. French dated Amber. Blac Chyna is best friends with Amber. Blac Chyna is in the studio with French. Whew!
Blac Chyna is known for being a sexy vixen, but she may be taking her talents to the bigger stage, minus the pole.
Were you looking for some old school 90’s New York punch-you-in-the-face Hip Hop.

OG Maco is on a roll with his music, but there those times that the ATL rapper can take time off to make a remix. Recently, the OGG rep dropped his remix of Manolo Roses’ viral single “Run Ricky Run”. With a beat that’s similar to his Migos-featured hit “Fuckem 3x”, Maco gives “Run Ricky Run” his signature level of energy. Check out “Run Ricky Run” below.
